Press Fitting and Fretting – A lubricating film of molybdenum disulfide works to reduce the pressures required to press fit, especially on negative clearances, thus reducing the chance of seizure, misalignment and distortion; this lubricant also helps control the tendency for fretting and cold welding of metal surfaces under static pressure in ball and roller bearings, bushings, splines, etc.; disassembly is usually nondestructive.

Heavy Loads and Slow Speeds – Molykote Z Moly-Powder is effective in lubricating metal surfaces under oundary conditions where an oil film cannot be maintained, i.e., where surface speeds are slow, loads are extremely heavy or involve vibration and shock
